i gave up surf club after 9 years because the parents couldn't be bothered to help out and wash and put away surf boards at the end of sessions .we would ask if they could help out in the water or on the beach to help run some of the games to make it safer for they kids but they were all to busy . you would say to the kids they couldn't leave until the parents picked them up but most would say not to worry as they were in the pub on the beach and were told to walk over to them .
